196 – Life Spoiler
The game that served as the background for the place I fell into was basically an open world RPG.
The emergence of an open world that boasts a high degree of freedom, breaking away from the existing linear structure, enthused users around the world.
It was a time when many game companies paid attention to this and competed fiercely with each other, riding the open world boom and showing off their technological prowess.
An unprecedented situation occurred in which the core developers of each company, especially the so-called elite, resigned one after another as if they had made a promise.
In order to prevent them from leaving, each game company tried to appease them, but no one responded, and the CEO of one company even went to visit them and grabbed them by their trouser legs, but ultimately failed to change their minds.
The CEO later revealed in an interview that he was encouraged to provide financial support by saying that he had a noble mission.
Anyway, the game company that lost its key personnel repeatedly postponed the release of the game, and at a time when users were thirsty for new games and suffering from torture of hope.
-Recent status of developers who threw away the games they were making and went on their own.
Rumors that retired developers are gathering to develop games began to spread around the community.
-What is that human doing over there if they don’t make Beatrice 3??
-Meanwhile, there is a nobleman who created the legend of the dragon sword.
– Wasn’t there really a group crunch?
-Kya Dream Team came
The reactions of users were completely polar, with those who said that they brought such a rumor because they had nothing to believe and those who expected that if it were true, an all-time masterpiece would be selected.
It was a fairly hot issue, and it succeeded in attracting some attention, including being featured on the front page of game news, but after that, the news stopped coming, so it was dismissed as just a rumor, and one day it was gradually forgotten in people’s minds.
-What is this? Why are you not even promoting it?
Someone took a screenshot of a game and posted it, which became a hot topic.
-What is this? Is this a cinematic video?
┗ Surprisingly, it is in-game…
Users were excited to see that the graphics went far beyond what was considered a chronic shortcoming of existing open world games.
-Where the f*ck did the guy who wrote this go?
-No, you don’t have to tell me what the title is!
-This is a real piece of sh*t.
This is the result of users who were indignant at the fragmentary information and searched the game platform like crazy. In the end, I found out the identity of the game.
A warrior’s story.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but it was a game with the same name as the warrior’s favorite storybook.
The hero’s story, which had been promoted only through gossip posted a year ago, quickly became famous through word of mouth from users.
-GOAT of the warrior party. That is Thalia, and this is a fact recorded in the Goguryeo subakdo.
– Is it true that the saint’s eyes are shaking like a mother? Even though the speed is slow, this is why I take out the saint and run.
-Is there any way to remove the warrior’s armor? It was so f*cking tight.
– If Elpak is cute, it’s okay hahahaha.
Apart from the free gameplay, attractive characters also played a role in attracting users.
But there were also times when it actually acted as a poison.
-I’ve been pushing side quests for three days and there’s no end in sight, so I’m just pushing through the main story, where should I go… ?
Users who touched various things often forgot how far they had progressed.
-Do you mainly use Raina?
-This is why I don’t proceed in a hurry hahahaha.
-The devil again…
Among them, the majority were users who mainly played Raina.
In the case of Raina, when accepting a new quest, if there is an existing quest in progress, an unfortunate incident occurs where it is recorded there as well.
In that case, you could see that the two quests were tied together in the in-game UI.
There were also users who inquired that this was clearly a bug, but the answer they received was that it was a directing that brought out the character’s personality.
But did we expect that there would be such users?
-Go to a shopping center in the capital and look for a tent with constellations drawn on it.
If you get stuck, there is a place where you can get hints about the main story.
Astrologer’s tent.
This was the identity of the location Chloe was currently pointing to.
‘That’s different from me, who is a prophet, and he’s an idiot….’
Even though he is only an NPC providing hints, isn’t he an unusual person who can read the night sky and foresee part of the future?
-Gulp….
I had a similar experience from the World Tree before, so I started to feel anxious that this might all be exposed.
“Well… I think we should go somewhere else…”
To divert her attention elsewhere, she opened her mouth.
“Let’s go here and go there next time!”
But she was full of greed and seemed to have no intention of giving up.
Hot.
Chloe grabs my arm and approaches the tent.
There is no way a modern person like me could resist the strength of this pink cat.
I gave up quickly and thought to myself as I was being dragged by her hand.
‘Well, it’s okay if you don’t give me money….’
Astrologers are also in the business of receiving money, so they will not tell you your fortune unless you pay in advance. There probably won’t be a problem as long as you only see Chloe.
Thinking like that made my heart feel lighter.
I soon followed Chloe, who opened the entrance to the tent, and went inside.
“Wow~ This place is so spacious!”
From the outside, the tent looked like it could accommodate one or two people, but the inside was very spacious.
I told you all that the long desk in the middle didn’t even touch the tent.
‘This is already unusual….’
From noble mtl dot com
At that time, the tension was heightened by the disregard for the concept of space.
“Welcome.”
The woman who was caressing the crystal ball on the desk opened her mouth.
Like us, she was wearing a hood and a veil, so her face was completely hidden above her plump lips.
‘It’s the same as what I saw in the game.’
She behaved so suspiciously that at first people thought she was undercover, but she was an astrologer and the owner of this tent.
Whenever she visits, she greets me by saying that she has always been waiting for me. Is she going to do the same here?
“I was waiting for you… Huh…?”
The astrologer did not raise her head towards where Chloe was, but tilted her head when she saw me next to her.
“Whatever you want to say….”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Please sit down.”
After giving a vague answer, she pointed to the chair in front of her desk and asked him to sit down, and she obediently did as he was told.
Sigh.
After sitting down, I took a gold coin out of my pocket and placed it on the desk.
The cost of using this tent properly was quite expensive.
“Are you the woman with the unusual hair color over here who will be reading the fortune?”
“Yes! It’s me who sees…”
After realizing that she was strange, she widened her eyes and asked.
“Huh, how did you know?!”
Currently, Chloe and I are wearing deep hoods to hide our bright hair color.
Let alone her hair color, there was no way to tell that she was a beast from the outside.
“There is a way to know everything.”
Covering her mouth and smiling slightly, she began to explain the point.
“There are many types of divination. Health, wealth, success, etc. The more you dig into it, the more it divides into many branches.”
The astrologer said that, curling the corner of her mouth.
“But I think you’ll like love luck the most.”
“Love luck! I’ll go with that!”
“hehehe. I knew that would happen.”
She smiled and placed her hand on her transparent crystal ball.
“Then, shall we take a look? The stars in the night sky that contain your destiny.”
The astrologer’s hands moved dazzlingly and gently stroked her crystal ball.
“What are you doing now?”
“You are looking for your own star among countless stars.”
“Really? I can’t see anything…”
Chloe frowned and brought her face closer to her crystal ball, as if she wanted to see it somehow.
‘Will it look like that?’
It won’t be visible to me or them, but it will be visible to that woman. I wonder if it’s a star or something.
‘It’s a bit funny to think that it’s something like flipping the screen of a smartphone.’
Now that she had nothing to worry about, she just sat quietly and watched.
“It was here.”
As if she had finished her search, her moving fingertips stopped.
“It’s not a star, it’s a constellation. I guess you don’t know this person.”
“Noble? Is that good?”
“Of course. Only people who will leave behind great achievements can have multiple stars and connect them into constellations.”
“Really?!”
Then Chloe’s hood started to flap.
“Master! Did you hear? Chloe is a noblewoman!”
“That’s good.”
I’m sure his ears are fluttering down there.
It’s a bit strange, but I guess I’m glad I don’t think I’ll be caught stealing in the future.
‘Maybe he’ll turn out to be a thief?’
As she was making a fuss, the astrologer seemed to have seen everything and soon spoke to her.
“Now, are you ready to face the future?”
“Now, just a moment!”
She asked Chloe to take a moment and began to take a deep breath.
“Whew… That’s it, that’s it!”
Soon, I prepared myself for the upcoming spoilers of my life by making a solemn face.
Did she look cute like that? A smile appeared on the astrologer’s lips.
“You don’t have to worry so much. I’ve seen your sincere heart come to fruition.”
“T-is that really?!”
Poof.
Chloe stopped talking and looked at me intently.
Why are you looking at me?
While I was puzzled by the way he was behaving inexplicably. The astrologer opened her mouth.
“It’s just that it’s a bit annoying that there are many people other than you around the other person…”
Hey. Chloe, you’re a bigger person than you look, huh?
“That’s okay! It’s natural for a capable male to have multiple females!”
“Is that so?”
“Then! How many more children do you have than that?”
“That’s…”
She trailed off for a moment and spoke as if she was unsure.
“There are several children, but as I said before, there are a lot of women around, so I don’t think I can say for sure that the child is yours.”
“I see…”
Chloe lowered her head, probably feeling a bit disappointed by that fact.
“Still, I see one child with the same hair color as you.”
“Really?!”
When she heard that she had found her second generation, her eyes lit up as if it had never happened before.
“Gender?! Is it a boy? Or is it a girl?”
“I’m too young for that…”
“I hope that day comes soon….”
Chloe muttered, patting her stomach, which caused her trouble, as her poker face was always seen in her games.
‘Well, he must have been satisfied with this.’
She left behind the boy who dreamed of becoming a mother and opened her mouth.
“Then we’ll leave. Now, say hello too.”
“Thank you for today!”
The moment I saw Chloe bowing her head and turned around to leave her tent.
“Um, customer?”
I paused at the voice that carefully stopped me. Because there was only one catch in the game like this.
‘What is it? Was there not enough money?’
Sometimes, when an important event was announced, users who were about to leave were stopped and asked for additional money.
‘Chloe’s wedding partner preview was that expensive….’
At that time, I was about to put my hand in her pocket with a grumpy face because I felt like I was wasting money on a guy who didn’t even know her face.
“I’d like to take a look at that too…”
She froze at the sound that came out of her mouth.
